Another chapter in the same woods I’ve walked for years.
We’ve watched Bully for the past four seasons — always close, but never quite able to close the gap. He wasn’t the biggest rack in the woods, but he earned his name the hard way — big-bodied, tough, and running off bucks that were bigger than him.
After the shot, we tracked him for about 300 yards before the blood thinned out and the rain moved in. We backed out, knowing pushing further wasn’t the right call. The next morning, the sound of the fire department set the coyotes off all around the creek — and that’s how was able to locate him with the drone. I’m grateful we were able to bring his story to a respectful close.
After 10+ years of chasing whitetails, I’ve learned these deer don’t owe us anything.
But every now and then, they give us a moment that sticks with you forever.
